When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace

About Me

Still figuring this one out and probably won't ever know the full story about myself which is ok by me - I like the mysterious and unknown - it keeps me searching and once in awhile another truth is revealed. Born on the Taurus/Gemini cusp makes me a LUNAtic. Sometimes I'm comfortable with this and sometimes I'm just not. I'm a lover and detester, a space-case and down-to-earth, a woman and a child, a mother and a daughter, an apple and an orange, I could give 2 shits but I truly care, ask me how my day is going and I'll tell you the truth so don't ask if you don't want to know. I may be unstable or maybe just human. For real though, I try to be as positive as I can be in this fucked up world and I try to see the good in every situation but find it extremely challenging at times. I think we treat our home like shit but I drive a car and heat my home so can I really talk? I don't believe in Columbus day, I think George Bush sucks (but who doesn't at this point). I think children are the best things on Earth! I feel like we've lost touch with our roots but that we still have the ability to reconnect. I believe that change is possible through every single breath taken. I believe in miracles and in fact, I could use a few. I believe I am a miracle. I believe in the Universal Spirit that binds us to one another and to every single atom. I don't believe in a World Government. I go after the things I believe in and when I'm faced with resistence, I tend to go after it even harder. I am DEFIANT and have been since birth. I am spiritual but not religious - "For years, religion did nothing but divide" - Killah Priest. I pray. I pray for acceptance. I pray for people I love. I pray for people I don't love. I pray for world peace. I pray for peace for myself and my children. I love the Goddesses and Gods (no, not just one). I am an addict. I don't numb myself anymore but sometimes I don't want to feel.I am not high-maintenance - I don't need or want the latest Coach bag or Gucci glasses and I certainly don't want De Beer diamonds, though I understand why some people do. There's a lot of soul-sickness out there and unfortunately, I deal with it myself. My thoughts are that being conscious of it is half the battle so I have hope. And faith. I've got a lot going on in my head these days and am far from internal peace, though I do have moments from time to time of utter peace in my heart and mind which I am very grateful for. I have a really hard time lately quieting my mind. I've been spending a lot of time in the past and future and forgetting to live in the moment. I love being awakened into momentary consciousness. It's a wonderful place for me to spend my time when I remember to pull my head out of my ass and be here now. Sometimes I wish I had a button to turn my mind off. I love love, music, life, earth, space, dancing, getting lost, laughter, lightning, the sound of thunder, the 4 seasons, ashtanga yoga, my friends and family and AUM. OH yeah - and trees, ferns, and lavender - and dandellions! I'm a mother of two beautiful beings. I feel truly blessed to be able to watch them grow into themselves. Right now, they are my world. I need to do more for myself because I am wearing thin. I have a tendency (like most mothers) to put everyone else's needs ahead of my own - but it's progress, not perfection. I try to work away my character defects so as not to pass them on to my children. It's hard. I am sleep deprived - I haven't slept through the night in over 2 years but it's ok - I'm used to it now and this too will change one day. I have lots and lots of dreams (which I write down so as not to forget) both long and short-term. I would like to leave some positive impact on the Earth. One way I would like to do this is by designing and implementing green roofs in cities (the dream I am currently working on and close to obtaining). I am an idealist. Anyhow, everything written above could change or be gone tomorrow and that's real. Wanna know more? Email me your questions. Peace! I'm out!
